CCF – Congestive Cardiac Failure CCF is an abbreviation of Congestive Cardiac Failure; it is also known as Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). CCF is defined as the chronic inability of the heart to pump a sufficient amount of blood throughout the body. This can lead to the pooling of blood and shortness of breath. If not managed, CCF can eventually lead to cessation of heartbeat and cause cardiac arrest.

This disease can also affect other organs in the body, such as the kidneys and lungs. Kidney function is reduced; this leads to the accumulation of fluids and toxic substances in the body. The lung is affected by the pooling of blood, leading to difficulty breathing. The major factors that cause CCF are hypertension, smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, and diabetes. It is also common in elderly people. Some symptoms of CCF include: swelling in legs and ankles, dizziness, difficulty breathing, tiredness, fatigue, palpitation of the heart, wheezing, and so on.

CCF stands for Congestive Cardiac Failure. This is a type of condition wherein the heart becomes weak and is not able to pump blood like it used to. This is a chronic condition, which means that those who will be diagnosed with this will have it for the rest of their lives.

There are some signs and symptoms that people can watch out for so that they will know if they need to get checked for this condition immediately. Some may notice that they usually have trouble sleeping when they are lying down. They may also notice that they cannot exercise as extensively as they used to. Coughing with wheezing is also another symptom.
